Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Lexington, KY, had a very serious moisture problem. The first step we took to get the moisture under control was waterproofing the crawl space. We waterproofed by installing perforated drainage pipes underneath the floor around the perimeter of the crawl space. We then hooked these pipes up to a sump pump in the corner. After waterproofing, we then sealed the space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier, spray foam, and vent covers. Lastly, we installed our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep the air in the newly transformed space dry and clean as possible. The homeowner was very pleased with the outcome, specifically the boost in their homes value.

To help this homeowner save money on energy bills, breathe cleaner air, and preserve their foundation, we encapsulated their crawl space with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. By sealing the space off from moisture and installing a dehumidifier, (not pictured) we were able to help transform this Lexington, KY, crawl space. Our vapor barrier is made of an antimicrobial material to prevent mold growth. It is also 20 milliliters thick to prevent the system from ripping. 

In Frenchburg, KY, the homeowner of a 20-year-old house faced a challenge with a 2-foot clearance crawl space plagued by moisture issues, leading to potential structural risks and unpleasant odors. In the before photo, see the impact of excess moisture affecting the environment within. By installing our CleanSpace® encapsulation system as highlighted in the after photo, we created a barrier that effectively manages dampness, turning the area into a clean, secure foundation.

This drenched crawl space looked like a rainforest before we came and encapsulated it. We first waterproofed the crawl space, then we installed a vapor barrier, then we sealed the crawl space vents, then we set up a dehumidification system. These four steps will ensure a dry crawl space for a long time. 

This homeowner had a crawl space with a thin plastic barrier covering the floor. The homeowner quickly realized that they were going to need more than that to keep their crawl space healthy, so they give us a call to install a sump pump system, a dehumidification system, an encapsulation system, an insulation system, and a sealed access door. Having just a thin layer of plastic on a crawl space floor isn't enough to stop moisture from rising into your crawl space, and its important to take all the necessary steps to guarantee a healthy crawl space.
